Two New Booklets by Swami Veda Bharati This booklet like many others is an attempt to bring to yoga and meditation seekers the basic tenets of the Himalayan tradition in simple terms. It however also introduces the inter-cultural threads of this practice that have been the vehicle of spiritual bridge building across the history of humanity – a humanity seeking Peace and expressing it in Joy. In one of the chapters the author tells us what yoga might be in an almost sutra-like style – the mystical: “Yoga is the wandering mendicant singing his ecstasy of solitude”; - the practical: “Yoga is to reach out to those with whom we have disagreed.” This booklet is a simple but inspiring read. The cover presents the painting of a rising kundalini surrounded by swirls of the mind energies. It is by a New Delhi artist known for her mystical works, YAJNA (The Ceremony of the Fire Offering) is another booklet of articles by various writers and Excerpts from Walking with a Himalayan Master by Dr. Justin O”Brien. Swami Veda explains the esoteric significance of the Fire Ceremony, Pt Dabral tells of the protocols to be observed before, during and after the ceremony. Dr. Parker advises on the practice of intensive japa with the fire offerings and Sw. Nityamuktananda tells of the power of transformation. There is an excerpt from Swami Veda’s recent book WANAM on the fire ritual and a sketch by Jennifer Strange of an artist’s journey through Dante’s Divine Comedy. One of the main lessons imbibed from participating in a Fire Ritual is the offering made reciting – Idanamama – this is no more mine – and with the final Swaahaa - all is done. The true impact is felt when performed with the focused mind. Anyone fascinated by these types of rituals will find this an informative booklet. Photo & text by Lalita Arya |
